Hi Tom,

I was thinking on how to inherit the configuration for components at
zookeeper level. What do you think of  something like this:

"We ask the user to manually configure only one node/component. The
configuration manager that I'm making will take care of that and will store
the configuration in Zookeeper then. Whenever new nodes/components are
being deployed, they automatically fetch configuration from zookeeper
through the configuration manager that I'm making."

This way, the user has to configure only one component manually which will
be used as the reference for other components that are coming up. Your
ideas on this will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
